John Roy on Jay Leno Tonight
Chicago-turned-L.A. boy John Roy, who's been visiting his old haunts and working his stand-up magic at Chicago Underground Comedy, Your Sunday Best at Schubas, and other local shows over the past few weeks, will be on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno Show tonight, so set your TiVo or start chugging espresso.
Speaking of Schubas, have we mentioned lately that Your Sunday Best is getting hot, hot, hot, and is so popular now that the "standing room only" area in the back is taking over the whole place? Newbies and established favorites alike work out new material and polish the old favorites as well. The last few Sundays it's been packed with the city's brightest comics, and an appreciative crowd of civilians has been enthusiastic and very receptive.

By the way readers- No Schubas show this sunday the 20th. Some shitty guy is spinning shitty music for some shitty fest. We'll be back next week on the 27th, hopefully to never part again.
And thanks for the mention you beautiful bastion.

Great set, John!
Fritz, take a deep breath. Even thought Schuba's bumped you, it's done huge things for that open mic and it will be back with a vengeance.

Substitute "great" for "shitty" in my previous post. I love Schubas.
